Just an interesting side note. I was adjusting the collimation of Paul Shopis' 12" binocular Newt on the Moon well before sunset and observed this star blazing very strongly below the Northern limb, much closer to the Moon than in this photo. I'm amazed a 2nd magnitude star appeared so bright in broad daylight
